I don't have my Snorble yet!

If you skip the Snorble setup step, you can always add your Snorble by tapping Add a device from the Dashboard or the Device List from the navigation menu.
Step 5: Help Snorble Get To Know Your Child
To get the best experience from Snorble, we ll need to know a bit about your child.

Once input, tap Save & view dashboard to save your changes. Your Snorble is now set up and ready to provide the best daytime and nighttime experience for your child.
Optional: Customize Your Bedtime Routine
Snorble recommends an optimal bedtime experience for your child during set-up. If you’d like to customize your bedtime, tap Create bedtime routine from the Dashboard. From here, you can select when your child should be in bed and when they should wake up.
